AT&T WorldNet gets
its Internet ducks in a
row
Executive from Internet service
provider division outlines
challenges, goals for 1998.

By Denise Pappalardo
Network World, 1/12/98

Last year at this time, AT&T
WorldNet was floundering. All of its
AT&T WorldNet Managed Internet
Services (MIS) were provisioned
from BBN Planet's (now GTE
Internetworking) backbone. And the
Internet service provider division was
coming up short with other business
services.

But the company is righting itself.
Today, about half of its MIS users are
on AT&T's WorldNet Internet
backbone. And the company in the
past few months has announced a
handful of services that address the
business market. These include
WorldNet Virtual Private Network
service, WorldNet Business Dial service and enhancements to
its SecureBuy electronic commerce service.

Network World Senior Writer Denise Pappalardo recently talked
with Kathleen Earley, vice president of networked commerce
services at AT&T WorldNet, about the company's latest
developments and where the ISP is headed.

AT&T WorldNet has gone through a lot of change in the past
six months, including migrating existing MIS customers from
BBN Planet's backbone to WorldNet's backbone. How is
that migration going, and when will all MIS customers be on
WorldNet's backbone?

We have over 1,000 customers provisioned on AT&T's backbone
for MIS. But more importantly, in November we provisioned over
255 customers onto our own backbone. That number exceeded
any month when we were working [exclusively] with BBN. All
MIS customers will be on AT&T's backbone by the end of
[1998].
